Ok, I have talked to the principal. She asked me to work with the gt coordinator and the teacher and to come back if that doesn't work. I'm meeting with the teacher and the coordinator next week.
DS told me that the teacher read something that was "too hard" with him yesterday. He was embarrassed that he couldn't figure out one word. I think that he has some serious perfectionism issues going on (so does the teacher). He seems very self-conscious about doing anything different. One day he tells me that he can't wait to read hard books (read chapter books), the next he tells me that he hates reading and that I'm evil for making him learn to read. He's having wild mood swings one day to the next about whether he wants to be in school. So what do I ask for?
